NO GOOD TO RECOMMEND IT.

As regards the use of rum, the fact
is a very large proportion of men are
not capable of governing themselves at
all. They drink moderately until the
internal rum thirst is fixed upon them
and then they become its most servile
slaves. There is nothing this side Of
thetorments Of hell which can approach
the torture this thirst inficts upon its
victim. To satisfy its cravings men
have lied, robbed and murdered. When
a man is fully under its domination he
would drink, were rum placed before
him, if he knew at the next moment
his soul would be required Of him.
Once under its full control, the victim
drinks and drinks until he is haggared
and unfit for work or business until
his wife and family become objects of
charity, and finally the grave closes
over his bloatei, rum-sodden, dishonor-
ed carcass.

To CURE A FELoN.-Take common
salt, roasted on a stove until all the
chlorine gas is thrown off, or it is as
dry as you can make it. To tea
spoonful add also teaspoonful of pull
verified CASTLE soap, and teaspoonful
of Venice turpentine; mix them we'll
into poultice and apply to the felon.
If you have ten felons at once make
as many poultices. Renew this poul-
tice twice day. In four or five days
your felon will, if not opened before
your poultice is first put on, present a
hole down to the bone, where the pent
up matter was before your poultice
brought it out. If the felon has been
cut open or opened itself, or is about
to take off the finger to the first joint,
no matter, put on your poultice; it
will stop right there, and in time your
finger will get we'll even if one of the
bones is gone OF course it will not
restore the lost bone, but it will get
we'll soon.

But he thrust her away from him /;

we'll as his enemies, called like mad
man on some one to board the schoon-

But ere he could be obeyed the little
craft had darted out to sea, the cheers
of her men were rolling to the skies.
As soon as he could veer his craft
around, Carbano started to give chase,
but his heavy vessel, while awaiting his
enemy near the inlet, had drifted too
near the rocks, upon one of which she
now struck and lay wedged almost on
her beam ends.

How Thieves and other Law-Breakers

Had stranger unacquainted with
Delaware's mode of Furnishing thieves,
visited the county jail yard, at New
Castle, on a recent morning he at first
would probably have imagined that
several prize fights were to occur soon,
writes Wilmington correspondent.
About the middle of the forenoon the
iail.yard was thronged by motley
crowd, hooting and jeering at ten men
who stood shivering in front of pill
lory and whipping-post. These men
resembled pugiIists in that they were
stripped above the waist In them the
braggadocio and mein so common
among pugilists were lacking. AL
though hardened in crime the raw air
and the taunts of the crowd affected
them unpleasantly, and they said not
a word to those jeering them. They
were convicts and during the week
had been found guilty 'of larceny or
burglary. Two of them were white

Promptly at ten o'clock Sheriff
Lambson entered the yard, and VIM.

When Baker was taken back to his
cell, Charles Matthews, white, convic-
ted of larceny of clothing, was dashed
to the post and given ten lashes. Next
came six colored men-Collins, Par
sons, SewelI, Anderson, Griffin and
Walter, who each received ten lashes,
except the last three, who each were
given five. Collins was convicted Of
stealing $31 from an Italian Parsons
stole some fence rails; Walter robbed
a companion of $35; Sewell stole some
flowers from nursery; Anderson's
crime was the theft of an overcoat, and
Griffin's was stealing chickens.
In addition to receiving twenty
lashes Baker had to stand in the pill
lory for an hour. Terry Cooper and
Francis Bayard, both colored, con-
victed of stealing $l4 from farmer,
also stood an hour in the pillory. The
administering of the punishment was
not finished until the middle of the
afternoon, and when the last convict
had returned to his cell the throng Of
spectators rushed through the jail-yard
gates and hurried off in search of their
dinners.--N. Y. Herald.

LINCOLN AND EMERSON.

The Century for May says that while
Emerson did not write in verse of
Lincoln, yet in prose he divides with
Lowell the honor of early appreciation
and fortunate characterization. In
"Miscellanies' will be found an essay
entitled American Civilization, which
according to a note by Mr.. Cabot, is
part of lecture delivered at Wash
ington, January 31st, 1862, it is said,
in the presence of President Lincoln
and some of his Cabinet, some months
before the issuing of the Emancipation
Proclamation" Mr.. Lincoln may
have been present, but his secretaries
have no memorandum showing the
fact, and the Washington papers Of
the next day throw no light on the
subject; in fact, Mr.. Emerson's son
now believes that Lincoln was proba-
bly, not present. The lecturer praised
the "angelic virtue" of the Admins
tration, but urged emancipation +; and
at the close Of this essay, as printed, is
a supplement commencing the Presi-
dent for his proposal "to Congress that
the Government shall cooperate with
any State that shall enact gradual
adjustment of slavery" Next comes
his address on the Emancipation Pro-
clamation, in which the President is
greatly praised for his moderation,
fairness of mind, reticence, and firm
ness. Cali these" En- erson says,
have bespoken such favor to the act,
that, great as the popularity of the
President has been, we are beginning
to think that we have underestimated
the capacity and virtue which the
Divine Providence has made an In
strument benefit so vast. He has
been permitted to do more for America
than any other American man" etc.
After this, in the same volume, comes
Emerson's brief but memorable essay
on the death of Lincoln, in which he
says: "He is the true history of the
American people in his time. Step
by step he walked before them slow
with their slowne2s, quickening his
march by theirs, the true representa-
tive of this continent; an entirely
public man, father Of his country, the
pulse of twenty millions throbbing in
his heart, the thought of their minds
articulated by his tongue" Again
in the essay on "EIoquence" C''Essays
and Social Aims, Emerson praises
the Gettysburg speech, and in the
essay on Greatness in the same
volume he gives Lincoln as an exam.
pie of the great style of hero" who
''draws equally all classes" ellis
heart was as great as the world, but
there was no room in it to hold the
memory of wrong"
